According to the publication, US senators said they spoke with Rubio, who told them that "the peace plan Trump is pushing Kyiv to accept is a Russian wish list, not an actual proposal that offers Washington's positions."
A State Department spokesman denied their version, calling it "categorically false."
Rubio himself later stated that the plan to end the war in Ukraine was developed by Washington based on "the Russian side's proposal," but taking into account "previous and current proposals from Ukraine."
Earlier, senators stated that the plan would only reward Moscow for its aggression and send a signal to other leaders who have threatened their neighbors.
It rewards aggression. That's plain and simple. There is no ethical, legal, moral, or political justification for Russia to claim eastern Ukraine.
